so we come to see our genetics and the environment that we have it as partners. and so that's our new scientific understanding. but we don't regulate chemicals on the basis of whether or not they alter the way a brain cell migrates during early infancy which could lead to a learning disability, for example. >> one of the most harmful toxins is atrazine. one of your peers at the university of california berkeley, dr. tyrone hayes, who is featured in your film "living downstream,." and he says, quote, "there's almost no aquatic environment, including rain water, that's atrazine free." here he's speaking about that toxin. >> so, this is darnell. darnell is going to be famous. he's the first genetic male frog that actually completely turned into a female upon exposure to atrazine. so he's been exposed to atrazine at one parts per billion at tadpole stage. and now he's an adult male that mates with other males and that actually lays eggs. so he's a functional female. he may very well be a hermaphrodite if we dissect him. but he's a functional female, anyway. and he ha

you're trying to protect your device from the environment. that's generally where they've been used. colombia, thailand, maybe even in pakistan. so it is kind of odd that they would use that here in a domestic setting. but, again, they don't know -- they don't have any suspect at all. >> it's also important to point out that this is an investigation where all of the resources and intelligence community are being used and they will have a backlog of intelligence they have to go through, intercept, satellite intelligence, signal intelligence, which they can monitor all of this stuff in realtime. >> they can't. and from what they monitor on a daily basis, minute-by-minute basis, from known suspects around the world, they had zero indication from this event. now you go back based on what happened and what you do know, you check cell phone towers and those international conversations and run your traffic through suspicious groups around the world. just speaking to the boston law enforcement source, a federal source earlier today, and a sense of is

who talks about getting jobs in their state, it is energy prices, labor prices and a regular story environment. and taxes. that's it. >> there is a u.t., texas poll talking about guns in south carolina. again where people are in background checks, what do you find in texas? >> so this is the poll from february 2013. 78% of all texans support expanding background checks. just closing a loophole. right? not even expanding. 78% in favor including a majority of men, republicans, rural texans and tea party republicans. >> this is checks on all gun purchases. all gun purchases. which actually is a more sweeping bill than what manchin and toomey pushed forward. >> i think cornyn's the guy to look at here. cornyn has a re-election in 2014. he is not likely to face a very strong challenge in the general election from the democrats. >> when you hear the demographics in texas and changing, that it is going to become more democrats? >> i think the demographic clearly favor democrats, the youth and urbanization of the state. it is 8% urban now. the problem for dems is they have to get some candidates. look

he was also on the national counterterrorism center's terrorist identity's data mart environment similar to the fbi list and updated several times a day with much more specific information. his departure was communicated to the joint terrorism task force in boston. so how is it that three government agencies knew about tsarnaev but he got such freedom to travel? intelligence and law enforcement officials tell cnn tsarnaev was included because in march of 2011 at the prompting of the russians an investigation was opened into possible ties with islamic extremists. but three months later, having interviewed him, his family, and looking at some of his online activities, the u.s. did not see a threat and cleared him. >> the fbi took action in response to that notification, investigated the elder brother, and investigated thoroughly and came to the conclusion there was no derogatory information, no indication of terrorist activity or associations either foreign or domestic at that time. >> reporter: that is the reason tsarnaev's name was not placed on any u.s. watch list that could have actual

it's hard to make a sell when you're in that environment so maybe is there still a chance. >> we will get to airports, i promise you. mike barnicle has a quick question. >> senator, what impact, if any, do you think it would have on the revival of this bill in the senate when and if it is revealed that the two people involved in putting together the marathon day bombings in boston obtained their weapons through the internet or through a gun show? because both of them, neither of them were licensed in cambridge, massachusetts. >> so, in other words, if they were able to purchase them through a legal mechanism where a background check wasn't required? look. i think it would certainly help to underscore the importance of doing this. i think the most important thing, frankly, is members of congress need to hear from people and the people who support these background checks need to be as vocal as those who don't. >> pat, you make an absolute great point because i've had people ask me what happened there? and i said, well, you had senators who received ten calls against the 90% for every on
